Abstract:【】Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of peripheral nerves around the knee for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA).? Methods A total of 200 patients with unilateral KOA admitted to our hospital were included and divided into four groups based on different treatment methods: the Combined Group (n=50), the PRP Group (n=50), the RFA Group (n=50), and the Control Group (n=50). The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the Lysholm Knee Score (LKS), and the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions were compared among the four groups at baseline (T0), on the second day of treatment (T1), on the ninth day of treatment (T2), after the 28-day treatment (T3), three months later (T4), and six months later (T5). Results From T1 to T5, compared with T0, the NRS scores in the combined group, PRP group, and control group all decreased (P<0.05). From T2 to T5, compared with T0, the NRS scores in the RFA group decreased (P<0.05). At T5, the NRS score in the combined group was significantly lower than that in the PRP group, RFA group, and control group (P<0.05). From T1 to T5, compared with T0, the WOMAC scores in the combined group, PRP group, and control group all decreased (P<0.05). From T2 to T5, compared with T0, the WOMAC scores in the RFA group decreased (P<0.05). From T4 to T5, the WOMAC scores in the combined group were significantly lower than those in the PRP group, RFA group, and control group (P<0.05). From T1 to T5, compared with T0, the LKS scores in the combined group, PRP group, and control group all increased (P<0.05). From T2 to T5, compared with T0, the LKS scores in the RFA group increased (P<0.05). At T4 to T5, the LKS scores in the combined group were significantly higher than those in the PRP group, RFA group, and control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions among the four groups (P>0.05).? Conclusion The intra-articular injection of PRP combined with RFA shows superior clinical efficacy in the treatment of KOA compared to single treatment plans, with particularly significant and stable long-term effects, making it worth promoting and applying in clinical practice.
